Mao's mansion was located in the Suzhou Alley, which was located in the Chongwen Sect. It could be said that the alleyway had a source!
When Zhu Di was building the Beijing, the person in charge of the construction was the most famous monk in the Ming Dynasty, Yao Guangxiao, who was also known as the Daoyan Monk!
This Yao Guangxiao had helped King Yan win the throne, but he had rendered a great merit. Zhu Di Di had absolute trust in him!
Yao Guangxiao was originally from Suzhou, so when he was building the Forbidden City, he thought of the craftsmen in his hometown. Through his influence, a large number of craftsmen in Suzhou started to gather in Beijing.
That was how the place names came!
It was worth mentioning that this was precisely Yao Guangxiao's link that connected them together. Thus, his hometown, the Suzhou Land Tomb's, specially-made brick, had also become a floor tile that was used by the Forbidden City. This was the Forbidden City's golden brick that everyone knew about in the future!
The origin of the golden bricks was Yao Guangxiao's hometown!
Currently, there weren't many people from the Suzhou Street, and the inner city had already become the domain of the Eight Banners. As the manager of the Forbidden City, Er Mao could also buy a mansion in the inner city!
With Hairy # 2's status, there were plenty of places to choose in the inner city. Back then, the empress dowager and the little emperor had wanted to find a house for Hairy # 2 near the root of the imperial city.
In the end, after some careful searching, he bought a small courtyard house at the southeast corner of the inner city, which was renovated into Mao's home.
Her Majesty had asked Ermou why he was looking for a house so far away. Er Mao only answered that it was quiet outside of Chong Wen Gate which was also the southern part of the city. It was convenient to buy things!
But they were all smoke bomb s, and the main reason why Hairy # 2 was here was because it was very close to the East Crossing Folk Lane!
With the victory of the Franco-Prussian War, the German ambassador and the Head Office had reached a diplomatic agreement to recognize each other, and the letter of credence had been exchanged!
According to the rules of the Universal Law, Qing Dynasty had to build an embassy in the capital city!
The open space not far west of Chong Wen Sect had already been bought by the German. It was expected that they could build an embassy in three years!
Er Mao chose this place as his stronghold. In the event of any special circumstances, the German Embassy would immediately give him diplomatic protection.
Please do not believe in the kindness of Qing Dynasty. These people turned hostile faster than flipping a book!
Er Mao was inviting Cai Bixia to a banquet in the guest room. There was a ceramic land dragon installed in the living room, and a servant was burning a large piece of firewood. A warm wind blew across the floor, causing the entire living room to feel hot to the point of breaking out in cold sweat.
It was warm in the house, and those pots of daffodils were very pretty. They were placed on the windowsill and seemed to be in high spirits. The wind suddenly blew during the dark hours of the night and the weather even became gloomy. It seemed like it was going to snow tonight!
”Two Hair...” Aren't you afraid of the patrolmen when you treat people at home? ” Cai Bixia asked.
”Afraid? Hehe … ”What's there to be afraid of? My identity has already been revealed. The entire imperial government knows my true identity now …”
”Speaking of which, it's quite strange. Once my identity is revealed, I'll be safe …” ”In the past, it was called a spy, a spy. If I caught one, I would be killed. But now, my identity has become a spy, this is really interesting!”
”If the two countries do not come to kill each other, even if it is just a secret envoy, they will not kill each other … I'm actually safe now, and they need me to pass on some things! ”
”If you want to say something that you cannot speak of, I will have to pass it around secretly …” ”Now, don't even mention inviting you to dinner, even if godfather comes to the capital and I go to the capital to show my filial piety, the people in the imperial court still won't be able to say anything!”
”I know there are spies outside, so I'll let them see. Before I came, I had already laid out my cards with the empress dowager. Anything I said would be beneficial to the negotiations!”
